Short cruise from Hamburg to Southampton, chosen for the price and because it's a big ship. The drinks package came free with the Fantastica class of cabin and I think nearly everyone had a drinks package which meant that the waiters were over stretched. Lots of cocktails, beers and spirits on offer but very limited wine selection (2 red, 2 white and 1 rose), Drinks, when they did come, were nicely served by smiling waiters. Ship was clean and had the glitzy Italian styling - crystals, dark wood and marble-type surfaces. Beautiful. Cabin was roomy and the shower was bigger than other cruise lines with free shampoo and showergel (unlike RCL). Food in main restaurant was beautifully presented and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's nice to be able clear a plate and not feel stuffed! Theatre shows were awesome and the mini opera was magical. A value cruise that punches above its weight. Embarkation in Hamburg was chaotic and long, disembarkation in Southampton was really quick.
